Slim Ties Go Punk!

While it may not be the most popular genre of music, you cannot deny that the punk rock movement is alive and well. Dating back to the 1970s, punk rock stormed onto the scene and was embraced by those looking to defy authority and carve out their own niche of individuality. Not only was this done in terms of style of music and attitude, but it was also seen in the fashion of those who embraced this musical trend. It started in the 1970s and has continued all the way up to today, as appealing as ever to rebels who see rules as something to break!

When you think of punk rock music, some of the popular images that might come to mind are: Spiked hair, tattoos, piercings, ripped jeans, Converse sneakers, Dr. Martens, and music that is full of both power and emotion. Most punk rock and underground groups use music as a way to express themselves authentically and raw-ly, which is why this style of music can sometimes be mistaken for “loud” or “scream-y.” Although this can be true, it is just the musicians pouring their heart and soul into the music that drives their passion.

As time moved on and “punk” morphed into a number of other subgenres, the sense of style did as well. Over time, several punk rock groups did not want to be regarded simply as “young rebellious kids.” Instead, these artists wanted to be perceived as artists who put their music first, and that the music was a sign of something bigger than just adolescent rambunctiousness.

This is the time when the slim tie look started to make itself known! Punk rockers would take the stage sporting skinny ties and dress shirts to show that they were mature people, even if they wanted to stick to their roots of music that broke convention and lead to new sounds. Slim ties have been present in the punk rock scene for many years and have been worn by such artists Avril Lavigne, Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Coheed & Cambria, and Panic! at the Disco.

So whether you're looking to set your own sense of style like the punk rockers, or you just want something a little different in your closet, make sure to check out all of the slim ties we have at NecktieEmporium.com. Trendsetters and trailblazers didn’t choose them for no reason – they rock!
